Hi, I was looking through a filmmaking magazine and found that there was a film production company shooting parts of a film in Scotland where I live. I later found out that there were other films scheduled to be shoot really close by in the next year or so including the Outlander series by...

Hi, I'm saving up for a new editing PC and I'm nearly there! :) However, I'm going to need to pay around £150 or so for the monitor I want, which is going to take me a couple of more months to save up for. In the meantime however I intend to do some freelancing with video editing and visual...

Hi, I've never really had any experience with lenses before, but done some basic research about them so I could get a better insight. Right now, I'm on about a £600 budget. I'm shooting a documentary about my city (Glasgow), so need some decent lenses. I thought about these...

Hi, I'm hoping someone could help me out here. I'm trying to assemble a kit for a documentary I'm shooting soon. Some shots will require a dolly movement, so I've looked into various models. I've never really used a dolly before, and the Konova website is very confusing. I'm wanting to know if...

Hi, I'm wanting to create a documentary about my local city (Glasgow). I've been wanting to do it for a while now but only started getting the planning done recently. I am planning on getting the funding through IndieGoGo or Kickstarter, which will be used to fund the equipment, travel costs...

I posted a thread on here yesterday about an upcoming documentary I'm going to be shooting sometime next year hopefully. I never actually considered what I'm going to do with it when I'm finished. I figured that I'd just send it to a festival and see where that goes? Or do you reckon I should...

I've never made a documentary before, I've mostly done very short narratives. I'm thinking of doing a couple, and maybe even travelling to Ireland to shoot one. I think it'll teach me some new things that I can also implement into narratives. I'll also hopefully enter them into film festivals...

Can actors do multiple productions at once? I know it depends on the contract but what is the norm for this? Are they usually allowed to do a commercial and or a feature, or do most union contracts prevent them from doing 2 features or shorts? Also, how do you workout around the schedule if...

Hi, I'm currently writing some screenplays at the moment. I have some ideas for the future, but I'd like to know somethings in advance so I'm prepared for when the time comes. I know how to go about getting an actors agent/manager (thanks to you guys). But I'm not sure how to convince them to...

Hi, I'm wanting to order some airsoft guns off of Evike, but I'm unsure of the gun law in the UK. I know they have to have orange tips on them, and I'll only be ordering guns that do. I read somewhere that they have to be blue or orange??? I would need guns that are all black except for the...

I was looking the other day and was thinking of doing some online film school classes. Just some lessons on cinematography, under $200 if possible. Does anyone know of a site that does this? Thanks!

I was watching the Shawshank Redemption on Blu-Ray last night and noticed it said restored in digital HD. Looking back at older copies of it, the quality was no where near as good. I know it was shot on film but this got me thinking, how do they actually make the quality better? I know they can...

Hi, I was studying composition earlier in a bit more in detail and learned a lot more about the rule of thirds. This got me wondering, is there anyway of getting the rule of thirds grid/lines on the viewfinder? Say for example, the 550D? Or is there any software you can download that does...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Is there anywhere online where I can get free green screen footage to play around with in AE? Like free stock out of a film set? Thanks.

Getting IMDB Pro soon. Just realized they had a cool feature with it that gives you actors/crews manager/agency contact info. I've never done this before ( I'm not trying to hire Hollywoods best actors ;) ). Just wondering how this generally works... You call the actors manager/agent and then...

I'm going to start a web series up, inspired by FilmRiot. It will be about VFX. I would also wanting to be attracting sponsors. What's the best way to go about that? And what sponsors should I be pitching for? Software companies? Thanks! Just need some general tips for this :)

I know this must be asked a lot around here, but here is my situation: I'm 14 years old and I'm currently looking for actors for my feature and some shorts. Most of my friends won't do it and the others will but won't take it seriously enough. And it isn't very professional hiring friends. I've...

I made a thread about a hard drive a few days ago. I'm ordering it tomorrow, but there's something else. I always like to have my data backed up 100%. I can be a bit paranoid about this sometimes. I used to have an account on A-Drive that gave me 50GB free storage but I got locked out my account...

I'm really thinking of doing a feature next year, and taking it seriously. I'd be on the budget of about $1500-$2000. I'll be 15 then and have done some shorts. I've been making films for a couple of years now, but only recently have I started taking it seriously. I was wondering your opinions...
